If I remember correctly it was a year ago. It was when my aunt had moved to another house. I went to their house to help them move, because she asked me to help her. So I went there with my mother and I helped my aunt move to other rooms and to clean the house. After that my ? came to the house and she also asked me to help her with her study. It was math. It was a math lesson. She didn't know how to solve the problems, so I helped her. She was very happy because it was a difficult task for her. And when we checked the answer it was correct and I was happy about that.

If ? it was in school one month ago. When I went there my friend couldn't solve the problem. And I wanted to help him because I have good knowledge of math. And he didn't believe me that I could solve the problem. But I did and I proved my knowledge. And also he gave me some problems from math ? I decided to solve them too just to prove to him my knowledge, because I'd gone to math lessons some months ago. And I wanted to prove to him that it wasn't pointless to go there. And he was glad when I solved the problems, and he was glad that I worked hard to help him. And so he went to the math classes.

I'm going to talk about when I was very busy. It was in September when school had started. I also had extra lessons, especially English and math. And that was a busy time for me, because every day I had three extra lessons and also school lessons. But I couldn't go to school every day. It was very terrible for me and me teacher was angry with because I couldn't go to school. It was difficult for me. And also that month I had 2 ? which was my best friends birthday party and I couldn't go to it. I remember this as a difficult month.

Last time when I was very busy was one week ago when I went to school. And I had a lot of math classes, two math classes and two Russian classes, and also science. So it was very complicated for me. And after these lessons I had extra lessons for English and math. So it was very difficult for me to go to the lessons, and also I had stress on my mind, and it gave me headaches when I was doing homework. And also things which I liked to do.

I'm going to talk about my daily routine which is enjoyable for me. I play with my friends at school. We usually play basketball and volleyball. And there is a huge stadium in my school. Every single day we play volleyball and similar sports in this place, because it's very comfortable to play these sports there. And it's very beneficial for our health and also our sports teacher told us that healthy activities can benefit our daily routine and get rid of health problems. That's why we often do our daily activities there. I think this is the best way to improve our health. Also it gives us more excitement and enjoyment and adds to our lives. Unfortunately this year I graduate and I'll leave my school. This is bad news for me. I don't want to leave my school because I have many memories there. And one of them is our outdoor activities that I did for my daily routine.

In my daily routine I wake up at 7 o'clock, and I have a class which helps me repeat the work I did yesterday. So after that I go and brush my teeth and wash my face. After that I go to eat breakfast. And I prepare my bag with school materials. After that I go to school and enjoy speaking with my friends and socializing. If we have a physical education lesson me and my friends play football because it's a really popular game in the world. I like doing it daily, but in our curriculum we don't have physical education every day. After that I like to go to computer club with my friends, especially on Wednesday because we have four lessons. And we go there to have fun and make memories.

I'm going to talk about an unexpected event in my life. It was a year ago on my ? birthday. My aunt invited us to their new house. Me and my family went there altogether, and when we got there we didn't know about her birthday. We thought it was just a party with our relatives. When I went there there was a cake and on the cake was written my ? name. At that time I realized it was my ? birthday. It was really unexpected and I was really shy because I didn't give her a gift, and it was unexpected for me. After that my aunt said it wasn't a ? event. And the next day I gave her a gift. After that I felt better.

Mobile phones and the Internet have made it easier to stay in contact with other people. However, as a lot of time is spent using telephones and computers, there is less face –to-face contact and direct communication. Is the growing use of communication technology a positive or a negative development for society?
1. Increasingly, extensive effects have mobile phones and computers had on our lives.
2. Cell phones and World Wide Web have brought a lot of convenience to contact with each other, but since those technologies take enormous amount of people’s life, there is no chance or intention to communicate in person.
3. I think, despite communication technologies made people’s life more comfortable, it may bring several negative consequences in the future. (70 words)

Sample band 9 response by E. Tahassoni:
The diagram illustrates how gold sales in Dubai changed from January to December 2002.
Overall, the figure fluctuated widely before returning to its original level at the end of the year. Besides, gold sales were at their highest in March, while the weakest figures could be observed in July and September.
In the first month of 2002, the figure stood at 200 million dirhams and rose slightly to reach about 225 million in February. This was followed by another increase, although much steeper, in March when sales hit 350 million. However, this upward trend was suddenly broken and sales declined dramatically over the next 4 months to reach a little over 100 million in July. August sales saw a significant rise back to January levels as the figure nearly doubled, but it dropped again in September to the same level as it was in July. There was a small increase of about 100 million dirhams in October, after which the figure levelled off and remained relatively unchanged over the last two months of 2002.
